The defense team standing confidently, waiting for the kick-off to begin.

The team was incredibly overjoyed when on Saturday, Oct. 28th, they found out they qualified for the playoffs.

It has been over six years since the team last made it, and the entire team and coaching staff could not be happier.

The team ended their season with an overall record of four wins and six losses, their best score in years. The Wolves will be playing the Chavez High School Eagles, who have the same overall record. The teams will battle it out this Friday, Nov. 3, at Chavez High School.

“It was a good feeling – a feeling of excitement because making it to the playoffs was a goal that we had as a team,” varsity captain Abraham Ceja said.

“It also feels good to be part of the team that broke that record of not making it to the playoffs.”

About the Contributor

Isabel Valles, Athletics Editor

Through participating in multiple sports writing competitions, I was able to prove my commitment to the class and was chosen to become sports editor in my second year of journalism. My love for sports writing came around the time my love for sports developed around 6 years ago. Another thing I love about writing about sports is being able to inform and catch up readers about games that they may have missed. Currently I play three sports, flag football, track and field, and basketball. After high school I plan on attending either the University of Pennsylvania or the University of Santa Cruz. My goal for this year as editor is to become a better leader and learn from any mistakes that I might make in the process.
